Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Nine

May 9 (Day9)

Hey everyone, hope all is well.

oh man, thank god for firefox’s built in spell checker…lol my spelling is bad..

Ok, Alexa Rank jumped another 75,860 more positions to 444,877 an increase of over 150,000 positions in two days.

Yesterday we hit the 125 visitor a day mark. Gonna aim for 200 by end of next week, let’s see how we get on.

Ok, want to hear the good news? All of the posts now have been indexed and the new posts are being indexed now in less than 1 hour, that’s without ANY BACKLINKS to that article!

The Keywords that I’m aiming for are highly competitive, two worded and three worded phrases (sure, for beginners it’s suggested to go for long tailed keyword phrases, ie, 3-5 worded phrases until they get the hang of things). Now on that basis that I do this every day just for a couple of hours within say 2-4 months getting top page ranking for these phrases should by all rights be attainable. Consistency is the key. Well, so is determination, bucket loads. Sure it’s tiring and very monotonous but once you start seeing the results it’s quite rewarding and motivation enough to keep on trucking. So don’t give up yet ok, there’s still more to come. LOT MORE!

As I say next week we’re going to concentrate on Offpage SEO to help these newly made pages rank to the top of Google, MSN, and Yahoo. What we’re going to do is referred to by many; Link-Funneling, or creating a Link Matrix of sorts. Both fancy words, but I still prefer to call it: “Semantically Related Themed Linking”, sounds posher. And in all reality, it’s what we are actually doing.

Link Funneling, or Matrix Linking can be loosely described as just getting links in any old fashion not taking into account the onpage factors that reside on these 3rd party sites that help the ranking process for our inner pages on our Blogs or Normal websites, some use the term a as method to pass on page rank to your sites by pointing other links from 3rd party sites to other 3rd party sites that link to yours. Hence why I refer to the Phrase “Semantically Related Themed Linking” because it’s more apt to what we are trying to accomplish here, we’re doing both at the same time. Creating a never ending stream of links pointing to other pages that are also related to enhance that user experience.

Any hows, MSN & Yahoo will take a little longer in my experience, but as soon as the links pointing back to each page start to build up, i.e 100-500 one-way back links these rankings in MSN and Yahoo will start to show up. I could speed things up by going to Live spaces (MSN’s blogs), or My Yahoo (Yahoo’s custom page where you can add your own rss feeds on, in fact I recommend that people took a look at how to do that as it also helps speed up things).

Today I started to run these keywords through SEO Elite on a project that allows you to see where you are ranking for a particular phrase. Yesterday there were two keywords almost located in No-man’s land. And today another keyword shows up as being found.
I’ll probably run these every 2nd day and see how we get on and if any new pages show up.

Keyword 1 ranked 630 in google.

(article 1)
Keyword 2 Ranked 216 in google.

(article 2)
Keyword 2 Ranked 213 in google.

(article 1)
Keyword 3 Ranked 536 in google

Not bad considering this is only day 9 and these phrases are very competitive.

Ok,

* Started at 2:42pm
* Submitted pages to OnlyWire, I would use SocialMarker, but it just takes too long but instead I submitted to a couple high PR sites
* Created more articles to prepare to post to article directories AND BLOGS
* Submitted to more forums
* Submitted to more link directories
* Finished for the day - Time spent on project - 4 hours 48 minutes

Pretty boring stuff so far innit. No one said SEO and getting traffic was glamorous Well, I suppose it is as the money starts to roll in.

I ran into a problem today, Jon Leger’s server was down, so that put a dampen on things to create the articles, but not to worry I got most what I wanted to get done any way.

Ok now below shows the process, a flow chart if you will of what we have done so far in the terms of linking.
This is Step one. I could create a HUGE flow chart but it would be difficult to see what is what, so over the coming days a new one will be made adding another process to the flow chart which should make it easier to follow. I apologise for the way the images have come out, for some reason this blog template wont display them properly with the text underneath, I’ve tried every aligning property there is and doesn’t do anything other than display it as it looks below with all the text pushed to the left. So I hope you can understand / follow the paragraphs beside each image.

As you can see, the one in the middle is our Website showing its home page and pages already published. I’m just going to list a few here to give you the general idea of what’s going on, duplicate this process for each and every single page.

Here’s step two. Step two below refers to the related forums that I was talking about in the other posts here. All these links are pointing not only just to the home page, but all the posts that have been made so far. This process alone I clocked up over 100 links from .com’s, .edu’s, and even some .gov’s

How long you spend on each page is totally up to you. But I would suggest at least 2-3 weeks. Not just one page, but a few of them at the same time.

Remember in the previous posts of this case study, including today, I’ve been preparing articles for article directories, and just today Blogs?

Step 3 shows the same process as step two but this time for Blogs. Pretty simple stuff so far right? Cool.

And lastly, step 4 shows the same thing really but for Social Bookmarking sites.

Now I could of shown the image that looks like the last image “Final So far”, but man, talk about hard to work out…lol And I just realised that I just missed out another process. D’oh, for link directories. My Bad. any ways, just think there is one here for the moment…lol

The preparation of these articles are revolving around the topic at hand that each page is about. I’ve now got 5 different versions of the same topic for 12 Keywords (published article pages), yup, 60 articles. These are going to be used to allow us to control the keyword prominence and relevancy factor.

The things you need to concentrate on now is ensuring that the title, the first 20 or so words contain your main keyword that MATCHES the published article on your site or Blog and it also has these words towards the end of each article, while saving the article as the keyword phrase, generally most article directories save the article as the title any way, however some don’t.
The reason for doing this is search engines mainly focus on the first paragraph and last paragraph when retrieving text to display in it’s description area, the reason for this I can only guess to save the processing time as it would take on extra strain of these search engines to scan every piece of text. I’m not saying that it doesn’t scan the middle part of your document, I’m pretty sure that it does, but it’s not it’s main priority, and retrieving text from the first and last paragraph is a lot faster.

In the image above we also have Link Directories (well, sorry, I forgot to add that part, will do tomorrow), Social Bookmarking Websites, Forums and Blogs.

One way linking takes place from Link directories to our Home page of the Blog or website we’re working on. However, don’t just stop there, think outside the box… When you get an email back from the Link Directory Owner showing you where your link is… COPY IT, save it to a file “link-directory-approved-submission.txt”. We’re going to use these later.

Do the same for Social Bookmarking sites…. “socialbookmarking-submission-links.txt”. These links will be the actual story link of the submission you made for your Home Page or your Inner pages.
ie digg.com/Educational/Your_Keyword_Phrase_Story, and we’re going to point links to it.

However, BEFORE doing this, if you are using Firefox, which from my stats over 70% of the readers here are, download the Firefox plugin called “search Status” at: http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/
Once you install it, right click the @ symbol in your task bar near your PC clock and turn on “Highlight Nofollow Links”, and turn it off once you know which site has the nofollow, and turn it back on again when you’re on another site.
We want to ensure that we can get the page rank to pass down on to our pages. Doing this for sites that have the nofollow is just pointless and a waste of our time. The site in question is the only one that is going to benefit from here.
Site’s that have the nofollow attribute on them, still count as a link, but the weight applied to it is VERY SMALL. But it’s still a link.

Question, how many here do this? I bet if we were all honest with ourselves a lot of us don’t, we just submit a link to these places and leave it as that right? You betcha! Listen, Link Directories and some social bookmarking sites don’t hold that much power, so what we need to do is give them an extra push. Make that story linked submission to these social bookmarking sites more important in the eyes of the Search Engines. Remember, Votes (a link pointing to your page) are what make you climb higher in the search engines. If you can help your submitted pages climb higher, the more weight of importance is applied to it which in turn funnels down on to the page on your blog or website. With me so far? Great!

The forums and blogs can left just be as is, we’re not going to worry about those since blogs and forums get lots of posts on them any way that have other people’s links on there, so I don’t want to help any of those if I can avoid it. Rotten sod aren’t I?

And below shows Article Directory Step One - just want to show you what’s up and coming for next week so you can get your head around it now rather than later.

Ok, the new sections are highlighted in Blue. You can see these are article directories.

Now here’s the thing that most people are doing wrong when they post articles. Put your hand up if you post articles and leave it as that; post and leave? I reckons over 99% of those in the industry, even some so called acclaimed SEO Experts don’t bother either. Well, here’s something they can learn.

See those article directories, labeled Ad Post 1, Ad Post 2, Ad Post 3, Ad Post 4, Ad Post 5?
K, each of these articles are like Keyword 1, Keyword 2, etc that point to our Blogs / Websites pages that are about Keyword 1, Keyword 2, etc. Some article directories will allow you to have 3 links pointing to your pages, so that’s why I have added 3 lines pointing to our pages.

That’s from article directory 1. Step 3 will show you article directory 2 in the up and coming posts. No.. We’re FAR FAR from being finished yet, we’ve only just started creating our Offpage Semantically Themed Linking Structures.

Now how you go about this is up to you. We could go to GoArticles.com FIRST which get approved immediately. And Post 5 articles there. Copy those links and save them to text pad.

When Ezine articles and other article directory articles get approved, ie, like Ezinearticles can take up to about 7 days to approve an article. But lets assume our articles have been approved, we get a link to notify us of where it is. Or we can check back 7 days later and find them via our profile area, right? K, now create a text file called “article-directory-link-posts.txt”

Then jot them down in this kind of fashion…

Ezine Articles (source 1)
==============

Article-Post-1.htm (links pointing to it = 2, via source 2, & 3)
Atticle-Post-2.htm (links pointing to it = 2, via source 2, & 3)

and so on.

GoArticles (source 2)
==========

Article-Post-1.htm (links pointing to it = 2, via source 1 & 3)
Article-Post-2.htm (links pointing to it = 2, via source 1 & 3,)

and so on.

Another Article Directory (source 3)
====================================
Article-Post-1.htm (links pointing to it = 2, via source 1 & 2)
Article-Post-2.htm (links pointing to it = 2, via source 1 & 2)

and so on.

Keep updating this file so you can keep track.

Now the purpose of doing this is not only to build up the importance factor of each of these articles and build up it’s PR which is soon to be applied to your article on your website (we’ll, it’s more or less immediate as that article is indexed and as other pages link to it but just doesn’t show up on your toolbar until the next PR update), but to give you an idea of what is needed to rank for particular phrases on first page.
If you’re not on the first page or ranking first place, you need to do some more work.

You might find that some keyword phrases will only take a few, some up to as many as 50 or so article back links in this fashion. BUT don’t neglect your own pages as well, try and get in a momentum where you point links to your pages as well, via the same methods as previously explained; forums, blogs, and link directories. Really mix it up, if you can get loads of Domain’s IP addresses linking to you, the better. Remember, it’s not just links from the same places that count as a vote, but how many different IP addresses you can get pointing to your site’s inner pages and home page. Okey doke?

Cool.

That’s it for today Ladies & Gents,

Catch you all tomorrow.

All the best

Loz
